TlieComlitionof Crops in the Miasii-
ipli Vrilley.
Chicago, Sept. 23. TLc following
will appear in ibis week's Farmers
Review: There Las evideutly been
less damage to corn by frost than
alarmists have given the public to
understand. Only lat planted coin
has suffered, ami this portion of the
crop forms but a very small percen
tageof the whole. In Missouii
Ohio, and Kentucky, where the crop
is juite backward on account of too
abundant rains, frost has done piacti
cally no damage as yet, but would
be most injurious were it to fall be
fore Oct 15. Potatoes are a very
abort crop. I'ustures are in gooc
condition.
Illinois -Late corn has been dam
aged by frost to the extent of 12.6
per cent, in 10 counties in Illinois
Frost had done no liarm in 03 coun
ties. Corn is now practica'ly out
of danger in this state and all of it
even the latest, w;,l be ripe by Oct.
if good weather coutinues. Past
ures are in good condition.
Wisconsin Very little damage
Las been done by frost to corn.
Only three counties report damage,
and that hardly worth mentioning
The corn is all ripe. Pastures are
in good condition.
Indiana Only two counties, St
Joseph and Allen, report damaged
corn by frost, and they put the
damage at 8 per cent, on late corn
The crop is almost ripe. Pastures
good.
Michigan On light soil in Mus
kegon county frost has damaged
com 20 per cent. Very slight dam
age is reported from La Pere and
Newaigo counties Other counties
report the crop safe and uninjured
by the frost. Pastures are in very
fair condition.
Ohio Corn is backward in this
State, and while not yet damaged
by frost, it will not be safe until the
first week in October. Rnins have
retarded the lipening corn; but have
helped pastures. A light frost
would benefit corn by checking it
Missouri Corn has not been
damaged by frost in this state to
amount anything. Only four coun
tieH report injury to late corn, and
the estimate is only 5 per cent
Pastures are good.
Kentuckey Corn is very late on
account of too abundant rains, and
will not bo safe until the middle of
October. The crop has not been
damaged by frost thus fur. Past
ures are in the best of condition.

Stanbeny, Mo., Sept. 23. A pe
culiar incident is related in cornect
ion with the death of Engineer Esk
ridge in the O. fc St. L. accident
Sunday morning. His 14 year-old
eon Fred passed n restless night,
tossing in his bed and moaning.
Contrary to his usual custom he
arose about 5 o'clock Sunday morn
iug, unable to sleep. When his
mother got up he related to her a
dream which had haunted his troub
led sleep, wherein he had seen his
father ia the fateful wreck, and de
scribed the fateful scene just as it
was subsequent shown to have been.
While the funiily were at breakfast,
a messenger came with the tidings
of the disaster, and the boy's dream
was all too soon proven to be pro
phetic. He started at once for the
lepot and took the morning passen
ger train for the scene of the wreck.
This notable psychical incident is
absolutely true, as the information
comes direct from the boy's mother.

ENFORCING THE NEW LAW.
Washington, D. C, Sept. 22.
The first case under the anti-lottery
law of refusal of admission of a
newspaper to the mails because it
contained a lottery advertisement
occured at the pontoffice here early
yesterday morning. The anti-lottery
act was signed by the president Fri
day and the poetoffice department
yesterday sent to the city postofSce
instructions with respect to the exe
cution of the law. In obedience to
these instructions John Doyle, of the
clerks, notified the newspaper offices
that th papers would not be carried
through the mails if thev were found
to contain lottery advertisements
and that the publishers, under the
law, would be liable to arrest if lot
tery advertisements were mailed
When the usual sack of papers to be
sent out of town arrived at the
postoffice early in the morning a few
copies of each paper were examined
by one of the clerks. The clerk
found that the Sunday Chronicle, a
paper of limited circulation, contain
ed the lottery advertisement as usual
and notified the boy who brought
the copies that they could not be
received.
NOT A GLOWING SUCCESS.
Misxourt Union Laborite Hold an
Apology for a State Convention.
Sedalia, Mo., Sept. 23. The union
labor party held their state conven
tion here to day with less than forty
delegates present. The gatherin
was made up largely of republicans
of the Aldredge and Blake stripe
and the proceedings were at times
lisgraceful.
Frank McAllister, a saloonkeeper
of this city, was temporary chair
man and was completely at the mer
cy of the delegates, a dozen of whom
were demanding the llor at once,
D. M. Cowan of Christian county
was permanent chairman and fared
somewhat better than Mc 'lister.
The committee on resolutions re
ported in favor of adopting the
Farmers' and Laborers' union plat
form adopted in St. Louis in De
cember last, after which the follow
ing ticket was nominated: Supreme
judge, O. B. Jones of Knox county;
railroad commissioner, Samuel F.
uoyden, ot .Newton county; suitr-
m tendent of public instruction, Ii.
S. Brownlow, of Dallas county.
The Hon. Charles Xoland of St.
Louis was deposed as national com
mitteemau and S. A. Wright of Sa
line county was chosen as his sue
cessor, after which the convention
adjourned.

BISMARCK IN HISTORY.
Ha Oreiapl th I'niqoe Position of Cresw
tor of a Mighty Empire.
The birth of liitmarcic dignifies the
1st of April. His retirement from the
Chancellorship of the (Jerroan Empire
disturbs the equanimity of tho nations.
There is no civilized land in which he
is not an object of internal. Already it
is assured that be is the individual of
this generation who has done most that
will be memorable. The only man in
Europe who comperes with him in
world-wide reputation is the great Eng
lishman, tiia'.lstone. and even he pales
before the mighty -ruian.
Gladstone has sicken ana written
more words that have been heard
by myriads, and printed anJ read
by millions, delivered more elo
quent addresses and stirring appeals
than any oiLer man living or dead. He
is a brave and high-toned gentleman of
wonderful capacity, and of a facility
that is almost flexibility; altogether a
statesman of the pacific and literary
class.
I.ismarck has created an Empire. Co
lossal, united, majestic (iermany as sho
stands, with the most formidable armv
and the most faultless administration.
in civil and military affairs, of any age
or country, is his handiwork.
The supreme credit for the magical
realization of the dreams of the Ger
man race forcenturies has been aselabor-
ately as stupidity claimed for others
but behold his face, even as photography
shows it! Ilistorv is written there. Un
der the superb dome of hishead, behind
tho deep burning eyes, and the firm
mouth, the will that has been indomita
ble and the brain that has spun the iron
threads of destiny dwell distinct in sol
itudo.
It is a mistako to look upon Bismarck
as one who goes from tho palace in tho
capital to his home in the country
grumbling and prophesying evil. He
has had his will through so many ways
that he must thoroughly enjoy the lux
ury of relaxation and tho sweetness of
repose.
The German Emperor is a young man.
but it is an egregious error to regard
him as a child or as caring for childish
things. It is the united testimony of
those who havo knowledge whereof
they speak that he is a man of marked
individual force, a believer in his ex
alted mission, whose zeal in public duty
is the constant stimulant to ceaseless
induKiry.
It has been a part of his education to
put his trust in tho army rather than in
the people at large, but it is of happy
promise that ho gives evidence of intel
ligent popular sympathies. We may bo
sure these will not impair his devotion
to the army, but they indicate the en
lightenment with which we may expect
his energies will bo directed to the pro
motion of the general welfare.
That Itismarck indulges his grim
humor somewhat at the expense of the
hmporor, but with a paternal sort of af
fection rather than personal pique, is
possible and probable. The saying that
"William has made his best General a
Chancellor and his Chancellor a Gener
al," certainly has the Itismarck flavor.
but we may depend upon it the Emperor
will not fail, as he has not failed, to
treat the man to whom his family and
himself, as well as all Germans, high
and humble, are indebted deeply and for
ever, with every form and ceremony
marking the sincerity of his attachment
and the warmth of his gratitude. Murat
Halstead. in X Y. Journal.
OLD NEW YORK SIGNS.
Mont of Them Were of Knffllnh Origin and
(rent Antiquity.
Many of the signs which hung upon
New York taverns were of English
origin; so mo of great antiquity. The
White Lion a lion rampant, painted
white and set into the wall at St. John's
Clerkenwell was a noted resort of cat
tle drovers: the King's Head and the
Queen's Head, bearing the image of the
reigning sovereign, wero common in all
parts of the kingdom; there were num
berless signs of the Coach and Horses in
London alone; the Three Pigeons is
as old as Ben. Johnson and frequently
met with; so was the lghting Cocks at
Staffordshire, where this sport was in
fashion. Pr. Samuel Johnson has made
the Pineapple famous; it was originally
used by confectioners but later by inn
keepers also; tho Globe is familiar to all
literary men; the "Doe's Head in the
Pot,'" of great antiquity, had little to
recommend it, save the scum of society,
emblem as it was from early time of
slovenly housewifery and mean accom
modation. Strange to say, however,
that while there exist innumerable ex
amples of the White Horse in England,
the recent exhaustive researches into
the history of sign-boards have not
brought to light that of the Black Horse,
which was in frequent use in the Amer
ican colonies.
He that would understand the storv of
New York signs must not be misled by
the idea that they were fixtures. On
the contrary, they were as much prop
erty as trade-marks are to-day, and mi
gratory as their owners, the innkeepers.
who must bear the palm for reckless
ness. For illustration: the King's Arms
hung in 1753 from a house in Broad
street, near the Long Bridge, where Mrs.
Lightfoot was the hostess; in 1763 was
taken by Mrs. Sarah Steele to the lower
end of Broadway opposite the Fort: in
1.64. by Edward Barden, to the upper
end of Broadway, facing the Commons,
who in turn ceded it in 1769 to his suc
cessor, De la Montague, who held it till
the Revolution, in 1775. The Hanover-
an Kings were in small favor in the
city, and their image did not prove at
tractive, in 177S. when the British were
n occupation. Loosely and Elms swunsr
out the head of obstinate George the
inira on isrownjohn s Wharf, and re
cruited privateers to prey on the com
merce of the patriots, and it crossed the
river with them to the Long Island side
of the Brooklyn ferry the year follow-
